Some of you may have saw the commercial made by the guy who runs Free the Children about 'giveyour10.'
What the commercial is about is signing up and choosing 10 commitments you'll make to help make the world better and they will donate 10 dollars on your behalf to this charity. All you have to do is choose 10 commitments from a list, validate the email they send you and they give 10 dollars! You don't have to spend any money! So there is really no reason why anyone should NOT do this. I'm not sure if UK residents are allowed to join in on this but I'm positive that US and Canadian residents are allowed. The steps they ask you to do : Fill in your name, country and email. {Make sure to use a real email or they won't be able to donate any money} Click on 10 commitments they have listed or make up your own. Either fill in 10 of your friends emails so they can do it, or just click 'sign up' and not have to give other peoples' emails. Then check your inbox and just validate the email they send you and 10 dollars is automatically donated to the charity. This is a good charity, if you get the Canadian MTV, Jessie from the After Show has been part of this charity since she was very young and has even gone to third world countries to help out and stuff. What this charity does is help build schools for these poors countries and help improve these childrens lives. The website is : www.giveyour10.com Please do this, I don't see why anyone wouldn't since you don't even have to reach into your pocket, just have to click a few buttons and 10 dollars is sent to them! |

As I said, I'd never heard of it. The advertising must be primarily Canadian. And I never implied they could get your bank account number, at most they could pawn your email to spammers. It's not much, it's just that the concept could be used for evil. This is a non-issue though because, again, they don't prevent me from saying I live in Whoville.

I guess you've never heard of Craig Kielburger? He's the founder of Free The Children. He's in school textbooks in Canada (I know for a fact I've seen him in multiple textbooks). It's totally legit, and of course they'd have ask for your name and email so that they can verify that you are a real person. It's called accounting. By the way, I saw the campaign mentioned on The Hour (late-night talkshow), when he and his brother were invited. |
